Jim hands Cams a large stack of yellow post-it pads, and points that Boston must be busy this time of year.

Ranger Capellanus,

If all books were written the same way, there wouldn't be any point in reading. :) For me, it's always interesting reading from different points of view, especially those from different eras.

I can never "really" understand being a Ranger. That understanding only comes from experience. But I can, in a sense, share the experience through different sources in books. It's fascinating to me, just because it's so foreign to anything I have experienced.

Understanding who Rangers are now, and what it means to be a Ranger, without understanding the Rangers of the past, in my mind, is impossible.

Alright Erin, it's time to leave the nest and explore the rest of the board.

A good place to discuss books is in the Mosh Pit.
